Connecticut's public works regulator plans to distribute $720 million to zero-emissions, renewable-energy generation and $300 million to low-emissions generation over the next several years, detailing for the first time how the state will spend more than $1 billion of required investments in commercially generated renewable power.

The investment by the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority is part of the energy law Connecticut passed last year which, among other actions, sets up aggressive requirements for the state to shift to renewable power.
